Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- as needed for cooking Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, garlic, and cabbage. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.
Slowly add the boiling water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until well incorporated.
Add the cold water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion into a log and cut into 10 equal pieces, giving you a total of 20 pieces.
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough piece into a thin round wrapper, about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half, and pleat the edges to seal, forming a half-moon shape. Ensure all edges are tightly sealed.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of vegetable oil.
Place dumplings in the skillet in batches, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Add approximately 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately, and let the dumplings steam until the water has evaporated and the pork is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the bottoms to crisp up again.
Serve hot with additional gluten-free soy sauce or a dipping sauce of choice.
